Off With Her Shot, Sims Still Scores 44 Points to Help Baylor Beat Texas

Sims had another rough shooting night but made up for it with seven rebounds and seven assists. She put the Lady Bears (18-3, 8-1) ahead for good by making the first basket of the second half.

Sims, the second-leading scorer in N.C.A.A. Division I, was 7 for 27 from the field last Sunday in a win over Oklahoma State. She went 12 for 34 on Saturday but made 18 of her 20 free-throw attempts and picked up her fourth 40-point game of the season.

OKLAHOMA 81, OKLAHOMA ST. 74 Sharane Campbell scored a career-high 28 points, more than double her season average, to help host Oklahoma (14-8, 5-4 Big 12) beat No. 11 Oklahoma State and end the Cowgirls’ unbeaten streak in the team’s last 33 games in which it had scored at least 70 points.

Oklahoma State (18-3, 7-3), which led, 37-34, at halftime, has not won in Norman since Feb. 7, 1998, a 16-game skid.

CONNECTICUT 86, CINCINNATI 29 Bria Hartley had 17 points and a career-high 6 steals for No. 1 Connecticut, which forced 24 turnovers and allowed a season low in points at Cincinnati.

During an early 22-0 run, Connecticut (23-0, 10-0 American Athletic Conference) held Cincinnati (9-12, 2-8) scoreless for 11 minutes 22 seconds. The Bearcats ended the first half — their lowest-scoring half of the season — with 5 field goals, 15 turnovers and a 41-11 deficit.
